Abstract (en)
A signal lamp (1) for a vehicle is composed of a plurality of LED lamps (2) as a light source, a reflecting surface (3) corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the signal lamp, a housing for accommodating the LED lamps (2) and the reflecting surface (3), and an outer lens (5) disposed in opposing relation to the reflecting surface. The LED lamps (2) are arranged along the periphery of the light-emitting surface such that the illuminating direction thereof is toward the center of the reflecting surface (3). The reflecting surface (3) is partitioned into segments corresponding in number to the LED lamps (2). Preferably, the reflecting surface has a circular configuration. The segments into which the reflecting surface is partitioned are arranged radially around the center of the reflecting surface. In this case, the LED lamps are arranged in an annular configuration along the periphery of the reflecting surface (3). A shade (5) for blocking direct light beams from the LED lamps (2) is provided adjacent the LED lamps (2). <IMAGE>
